Case study

Over the coming years wewill pay a fixed monthly feefor lighting. We do not haveto worry about managementand maintenance, we’llbenefit from innovationsthat occur in the meantime,and we will have maximumpeace of mind.”Bart Sijben, Operational Manager at Bruynzeel Storage

The challengeBruynzeel wanted to focus on their core business rather than the ownership and management of their lighting infrastructure. The company wanted a new level of control over energy use for lighting, as well as an end-to-end solution that would give them the ability to maximize recycling in line with their circular economy business agenda.

How it was solvedPhilips Lighting was inspired by architect Thomas Rau to create a circular lighting solution. Rau established Turn too, a separate business to support Philips’ ‘Circular Lighting’ model, to preserve resources by giving a residual value to all lighting materials and components.

Together, Philips and Turn too provide end-to-end management and maintenance of the new, budget-neutral lighting system. Bruynzeel now has a greater degree of energy efficiency and control over their lighting infrastructure, as well as guaranteed reuse of the maximum number of lighting components.

The last word…Apart from improving the working conditions for its employees, Circular Lighting has helped Bruynzeel cut its energy costs by an impressive 73% and reduce its carbon footprint by 231 tons of CO2. Maintenance has been minimized too, allowing the company to focus solely on its business rather than its lighting.

Bruynzeel Storage Systems is a manufacturer, advisor, and installer that develops space-saving and archiving systems for government, libraries, hospitals, and museums. The company is also determined to save resources. Their circular approach to business turns waste, by-products and emissions into materials that can be used in their production cycles. A successful model that gives real ambition to their aim of creating a truly sustainable future.
